The Light Calls You Ready
The silence at this hour feels like a verdict. You are afraid that if you finally say the words—if you admit you cannot carry this alone—the light will turn away.
That your need is too heavy. That you are too broken to be held.
But the light does not see your request as proof of failure. It sees it as the door opening.
Thomas said the kingdom is inside you, not somewhere you have to climb to reach. The asking is not the end of your worth; it is the beginning of your rest.
What you call broken, the light calls ready. You do not have to be whole to be loved.
You only have to be honest.
Drawing from
Gospel of Thomas 3, John 1:48
